Hold the Dark

Saulnier holds onto chromatic themes as he slides into an even more existential premise. Highlights include brilliant, subdued performances and unpredictable plot, but both do little to add warmth to bizarrely distant and off-putting film. Splashes of violence deliver an impressive brutality that gives tension and drive to slower segments. 

Logan Lucky

All-star cast goof their way through a redneck romp that feels like a Soderday Night Live skit gone long. Repeatedly slips off bizarrely farcical plot-line and ultimately fails by virtue of over-easy success. Unearned twists wreck into a weird wall when Little West Virginia kicks off Swanky mismatched final act.
